Patent CA-2396973-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDERSEN PER JUST
IPC: C08K3/00
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: Thermoplastic starch compositions that include a particulate filler, e.g. an inorganic filler component, and optional fibrous component. The compositions include a thermoplastic phase comprising a thermoplastic starch melt that contains, at a min-imum, starch blended with an appropriate plasticizing agent under conditions in order for the starch to form a thermoplastic melt.  The thermoplastic phase may also include one or more additional thermoplastic polymers and other optional reactants, liquids or cross-linking agents to improve the water-resistance, strength, and/or other mechanical properties of the thermoplastic melt, partic-ularly upon solidification. The inorganic filler component may affect the mechanical properties but will mainly be added to reduce the cost of the thermoplastic starch compositions by displacing a significant portion of the more expensive starch or starch/polymer melt. Fibers may optionally be included in order to improve the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic starch compositions.  The thermoplastic starch compositions may be shaped into a wide variety of useful article, such as sheets, films, containers, and packaging materials. Because the thermoplastic starch compositions will typically include a thermoplastic phase that is biodegrad-able, and because the other components will either constitute a naturally occurring mineral and optionally a natural fiber, the overall composition will typically be more environmentally friendly compared to conventional thermoplastic materials.

IPC: A61P41/00

Abstract: Effective use of a TGF-.beta. antagonist to treat or to prevent loss of rena l function is described herein. Contrary to current theory that suggests TGF- .beta. antagonists may be useful in the treatment of fibroproliferative disorders of the glomeruli, no significant differences in cortical hypertrophy, and specifically glomerular injury, was observed in a genetic animal model of hypertension and renal dysfunction treated with an anti-TGF- .beta. antagonist compared to control animals. In contrast, the present invention demonstrates the importance of proper medullary function, and specifically the role of medullary hypoxic injury in the onset and progressi on of diseases and disorders of the kidney. Disclosed herein is the first demonstration that a TGF-.beta. antagonist is useful to effectively prevent loss of renal vascular circulation and reduce tubular injury of the renal medulla, as well as prevent systemic hypertension. Anti-TGF-.beta. treated animals exhibited significantly lower mean arterial pressure, significantly lower fibrosis of the vasa recta, significantly lower medullary tubular injury, significantly lower medullary tubular necrosis, and significantly higher medullary blood flow compared to control animals.
